New Shopping Place

I just recently decided to check out Kid to Kid. I could regret having not gone there before now since I could have got all of her stuff for at least half the price I paid, but instead of regretting I will just be happy that I now know about it. We bought her this little exersaucer for a great deal and she just loves it, almost as much as I do. It gives me a nice break from holding and entertaining. Once in a while I need to be able to put her down, or so they tell me. :) She's pretty spoiled.

Sitting Pretty

Jocelyn can sit up! She loves it because now she can see everything that is going on around her. Sometimes she falls over, but she doesn't seem to care. She's getting so big.

When it's Raining on Sunday

Sunday night it rained alot. We opened all the windows and just listened to the rain. I love the sound of rain and I was so happy it wasn't thundering. I don't like the thunder. I never have and probably never will. But I did enjoy the rain. Outside our apartment we found this little friend. I've never seen a snail before so this was pretty cool. I couldn't even tell it was moving until I got right down by it.

I love food... I love blogs... I love food blogs

I'm a little obsessed with food blogs. Lately all I look at on the internet is food. I used to watch food network all the time, but now I've switched to looking up recipes on line. I've been alot more adventuress with recipes. It's a good thing. We don't always eat the same food now. Sometimes I try something that doesn't turn out very good. But today was a hit. I love to get lettuce wraps at PF Changs. I've made their recipe once with friends, but it was very time consuming with crazy ingredients. So, today I made some simple lettuce wraps that were soo good! They are from one of my very favorite blogs to search recipes called Picky Palate . Click here for the recipe. I highly suggest trying these! She is so talented. Her food all sounds amazing and I love her pictures!

Then for dessert I wanted chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips. I had some peanut butter chips that I've been wanting to use. I went to the trusty allrecipes.com and made the recipe with the best ratings. They turned out fantastic! mmm... I could eat them all. And the batter is just as good or better!

Recommendations Please

I've been reading this blog for a while now A Year of CrockPotting. She has a goal to use her crockpot everyday for this year. She's done it so far. I think it's amazing and her food sounds so yummy! I love the idea of being able to throw everything in the crockpot and let it cook without worrying about it. Food always tastes so moist and delicious when made in a crockpot. I have a whole list of crockpot recipes to try. So why haven't I actually tried on of these recipes yet... I don't have a crockpot! I've been looking into getting one and have no idea what to get. Does it even matter which one? Anyone have one that they would recommend?
